IMO an aftermarket ECU is something like a haltec, link, megasquirt etc. which is just unnecessary expense. A plug and play ECU is one that has effectively been 'chipped'. Some useful info on ECUs can be found here. The OP asked what is needed and I gave him the minimum requirements. As I said, it all comes down to what you want to spend and what you're aiming for.

An aftermarket ECU is waay overkill for 1 bar on a standard CT9. You could use a piggyback (emanage/unichip etc.) but it's not entirely necessary. FCD/FPR and a rolling road session will see you right. But yeah, you will also want to reduce any restrictions in the exhaust system. Stock manifold should be ok if you mod it, I'd decat though. Depends on how much you want to spend and what your ultimate goal is. I wouldn't be buying an aftermarket ct9 mani if you will be going td04, say, 6 months down the line.

I ran one bar on my first GT for over a year with no problems at all, and it was still going strong when I sold it. The crude method is FCD/FPR and an adjustable actuator, but you'll also want a front mount because it'll be blowing fairly hot air. Might be an idea to upgrade the fuel pump too. Once it's been set up on a wideband (you DO NOT want to run lean) you should be pushing 180ish bhp.

Self employed. http://www.primeautocare.co.uk Not so much mobile stuff about right now so I took on a unit and have been doing bigger stuff recently. Originally a C&G qualified paint sprayer.

Merry Christmas people, hope you and your families are having an awesome day

Once I'd done a decent service I'd uprate the actuator and turn it up to 0.8

What would it take to see 180bhp?

At the wheels or at the fly? -
Reckon he means forge, as in the brand?

Yeah, that one is pretty messed up.

Very nice chap, your detailer did a great job. White will never shine or reflect like black, it simply can't. -

Exciting times, huh. -
It's not stolen, or at least not reported stolen and never has been. The only thing the check pulled up is that it's an import, but we all knew that anyway. Spoke to him again this morning, he really doesn't know what it's got, he just listed what he'd been told. Absolutely no paperwork, the guy who px'd it said its taxed and mot'd til the end of this month. I'm very tempted but it's a 6 hour round trip for me. As that's if it gets me home...
-
So the only way it'd be a mines ecu is if the previous owner swapped the entire loom. Was also told it had rays rims but "a mate swapped them for some brand new five spoke wheels"
-
Called him and got the reg, he seems genuine enough. If you google his number you can see he's a bit of a gumtree trader. I'll get my sister to do a proper check on it tomorrow, she works for some insurance co. If it all checks out I'll go get it Friday, if it's still there... Only really want the coilovers so there could be a glanza being broken soon! As long as its not stolen, of course...
-
Just make sure the hoses are a snug fit and it'll be fine. If the crank case is pressurised enough to blow off push on hoses, you will have bigger problems to worry about.
-
I was followed by 5-0 for around five miles tonight, they didn't pull me though. Only ever been pulled once, that was in my old GT and happened to be a VOSA spot check where they funk'd me for the exhaust being too loud and tints being too dark. C*nts.
